Hey all! I wasn't really sure if I would continue this story, aha. I get really side track during the summer and seem to forget that I was writing a story. Anywho, I had written this chapter and never posted it, so here you go! I hope you guys like it so far and want me to continue! Please review it makes me really really happy!!
SM owns everything and anything.
"Ms. Kayley, why don't you share with everyone what you did this summer." Mr. Tate said. We had been going around the class listening to what everyone had done over the summer for at least an hour. I was sick of people saying, "Nothing, hangout with friends, went to the beach, stuff like that." Ugh, it was driving me crazy.
I got up and turned to face everyone. "Umm, I worked at my dads shop, babysat, visit my grandfather…and that's about it." Ok just because it is boring hearing the same thing from everyone else doesn't mean I am much more original.
Finally after class I had lunch, and would be able to see all of my friends. I so far only had one class with friends in it and that was art with Oliver. PJ was in Mr. Tate's class with me but we aren't friends. I mean because he is part of the whole wolf clan we are but we, me and him, are not really friends.
I saw Avery first and she waved me over to where I could see everyone else already sitting. I sat done next to her with Ryan beside me and Sean across from me. I never bought lunch, it is always gross, and so I brought one instead. I felt kind of weird and didn't feel like eating too much.
"Hey if you're not going to eat that I can take it off your hands for you." Sean said. Before I had even said anything he grabbed it and half of my sandwich finished off. He has been eating like a cow lately and its totally grossing me out. He will eat like 3 main lunches, a slice of pizza, my sandwich, 2 bags of chips, and an ice cream, all in the 20 minutes we have for lunch. It's ridiculous.
School went by pretty fast after that. Even thought I had some pretty hard class (which I choose to be in so I guess I couldn't complain) I was too excited about tonight. For some reason school always starts on a Friday. I guess it's so we can get our supplies all by Monday and be off to a fresh start but my theory is they just want to ease us into what will be another very long year. Anywho, everyday first day backs night; us girls get together and have a huge sleepover. Even Jac, V, and Jess come. We basically sit around and talk about what we hope happens the coming year, and share funny stories from the year before. We had been doing this since I was in 3rd grade and always loved it.
I went straight over to Avery's after I got all of my stuff together back at home. Out of the eight wolf girl children, she was my best of best friends. Were both 16 and her father Jacob works at the garage with my dad.
I pulled up to their house which is set back pretty far into the woods. They have a guest house out back which is were we are having the party. Her mom Ness came from a family of a lot of money but they moved to the east coast before we were all born. This aloud them to have a fairly large house and really nice one too. I pulled up to see Nate and Jac sitting on the front swing just talking. Nate phased when he was 17 and imprinted on Jac right after. She was really happy and now their going off to school in Seattle together.
The only other imprinted couples are Veronica and Charlie, Michael and Jessica. None of the boys have been phasing until there about 17 or so which I guess is a lot older then when my dad and his friends had started.
"Seth was almost 15 I think. Brady and Colin only about I'd say, 12 or 13." Dad said. I couldn't believe how young that was. Your whole life changes before you even have the chance to have a life. I got out, waved to Nate and J, and then headed inside.
"Ugh, do you know how much work it is making food for eight girls?" Avery said before I had even stepped through the door.
"Av stop freaking out. It looks like you've made enough cookies to turn Lizzie fat." I said pointing to the mound of cookies on the counter. Lizzie is Avery's younger sister who is extremely skinny. She eats like a cow but never gains a pound.
After a couple of hours, we had the floor made up into a huge bed, drinks and snacks set up, and girls sitting around everywhere. The gossiping started soon and eventually the topic turned to me.
"So Kayley, how are thing with you and Ryan?" Veronica asked. I'm usually not willing to spill my guts but lately Ryan had been so nice that I couldn't help it.
"Awesome really. I mean he's being everything that I want, not to much pressure but always makes me feel special. He's really great." He was so much more then that though, my best friend, shoulder to cry on, protector, study buddy, and would always make me face my fears and be right next to me when I did. I loved him more then anything and would do anything for him.
"Jeez Kayls, way to make me wish my own brother was my boyfriends, ugh totally weird." Lily said. Talk went on for a while until we breached the topic of imprinting.
"Well most of the boys are 'coming of age' so to speak and will probably be phasing soon. I wonder who will be with whom?" Jac asked more to herself then anyone. We all thought about it to our selves, assuming someone will imprint on us, but never really discussed it aloud. We all sat there for a while just thinking, slowly breaking off into small groups for quiet chatter. Shea, Lily, and Lizzie were already asleep and it was late so we shut the lights and all were just lying down. Randomly one of us would say something that had nothing to do with anything and leave us in fits of laughter. At about 3 a.m. we were all settled down when Aunt Ness came flying though the door. She realized we were 'sleeping' and crept over to were we were laying. Those awake sat up and she turned on a lamp. Her face had a complete look of work on it as if she needed to do something but didn't want to.
"Mom, what's up? Why are you out here? Were we making to much noise, we could quiet—"Avery said but was cut off by her mother
"No no. shh, listen there were some unexpected guest in the area tonight, an well, the fathers wanted to make sure you were all ok. I promised I'd come and check on you guys. They told me to wake you all up but you guys look exhausted and I don't want you to worry, it's all taken care of." She tried to sound reassured but it was a little weak.
"How many?" veronica asked. Since Uncle Sam was her father she always new more about what was going on then anyone else. And in situations like these, she went into mom mode for us girls, taking after her mom. Avery's mom was definitely freaking out now, like she was not supposed to tell us but knew she would.
"Umm, I don't know your father said about 12 or 13." She looked away not wanting to see out expressions I'm assuming but could hear them just as soon.
"12 OR 13! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! THERE'S ONLY LIKE 7 OF THEM, THEY'LL GET KILLED!!" Veronica was standing now looking completely stressed and worried. "Even if Michael, Nate, and Charlie went there still way out numbered. What are they thinking?!" she flopped down on the sofa staring up at the ceiling. I couldn't help but feel the exact same way. My father was out there fighting of 12 or 13 vampires! What if something happened? Or to any of them.
"Well the three of them did go, but someotherswenttoo." She rambled on the last part and I didn't understand what she had said.
"What?" We all said simultaneously.
"God, they'll kill." She was looking around like someone was going to pop up and yell at her for talking to much or something. We looked at her though, urging her to tell us. Finally, "Ok well I guessed you'd find out soon enough. The boys all phased." What? They phased?! Holy cow!
"Which boys?" Shea asked from over in the corner. I didn't even think she was awake.
"All of them; Sean, Ryan, PJ, Shane, Cole, Oliver, and Ben. They we out back at Uncle Seth's when my aunt called to say she saw them coming. As the guys all got ready to go I guess the boys started to get jealous they hadn't phased yet and would be missing out." She smiled to her self then went on. " then we looked out back and one by one they were all popping into huge wolves. I guess jealousy really does drive anger." Aunt Nessie said, sighing with a nervous giggle. Wow. They all phased. At once! That's crazy, but means—
"So now there all out there facing the vamps after only being a wolf for a couple hours. Are our fathers stupid or something? How could they put them in that danger?" Jac said. She was never the one to show anger but she seemed to be heated at the moment.
"Well no. Shane, Cole, Oliver, and Ben are patrolling the rez and here mostly." Ness said. Well that's good I thought, but what about—cut off again.
"What about Sean, Ryan, and PJ? They took them with them to fight? They've never even practice. Ugggggh." Jac said. Aunt Nessie stayed the rest of the night and kept reassuring us everything would be fine. Her voice was a little shaky and I could tell she was trying to convince herself just as much. Eventually we all fell asleep and were really cranky when we were woken up at 7:30 by Uncle Sam.
"Hey girls, I hope we didn't ruin your sleepover by making you worry too much. We told Nessie not to tell too much but she always does. Anyway I just wanted to personally come out and tell you all the battle was fine and no one was hurt, so scratches or anything." He smiled big. You could tell he was proud of himself, fighting off 12 vamps while having 7 new wolves phase at the same time. "Also, were bringing the boys up to the cabin for the weekend to teach them the ropes. A little brother bonding time I guess. Uncle Quil and Jake are staying behind. I've got to go get packed, stay out of trouble girls, we'll see you on Sunday night, the bonfires remember?" he went over and kissed V's, head and left.
We all sat there in silence for a minute. The boys are already gone and now it's just us girls for the whole weekend. Wow. Plans can change fast.
"Well this is weird." I said. And it was. Everything was finally changing.
"Weird? Are you kidding me? It's freaking awesome!" Shea shouted. We all laughed but I couldn't help but think of how everything changing and I wasn't sure if I was ready for it to.
Whadya think? Like? Not like? Let me know!
